Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-10-04 21:14:59 UTC 
Once again (*sigh*) freetype upstream changed header location with freetype-2.6.1
Packages that don't use either freetype-config/freetype2.pc or directly use ft2build.h (which didn't change its location) will most likely fail to find freetype's header files.

No comments here please.
Comment 1 Daniel Robbins 2015-10-10 18:03:47 UTC 
Peforming the equivalent location fix-ups in src_install() a new rev of media-libs/freetype-2.6.1 should allow both new and old ebuilds to find headers in both locations and thus compile cleanly:

# cd /usr/include
# mv freetype2 freetype2.bak
# mv freetype2.bak/freetype freetype2
# mv freetype2.bak/ft2build.h freetype2
# cd freetype2
# ln -s . freetype

This allowed libgnomeprint to compile just fine. Some testing for freetype-config ebuilds should be done as well.

Nearly three months without any new bugs... closing.
